The Buffalo Sabres dying playoff chances took another big hit on Tuesday night, courtesy of a loss in Sunrise.
These Florida Panthers always seem to have the number of whatever Sabres squad they face and this time seemed no different.
Throughout the first period, the ice very much felt tilted in favor of the Panthers, despite no score after twenty.
Buffalo would turn on the jets in the second period and get themselves on the board first.
Eichel’s 19th of the season at 5:14 of the second period, from Reinhart and Skinner, put Buffalo up 1-0.
